We moved our DS last Sept from a great private school to one nearer to home as DH job location changed and we could no longer do the journey (at least 1 hour and 3 buses for me as learning to drive is unfortunately not an option for me) . However, we are not happy with the private school he is now in and are looking at the state options locally. Headteacher said all the right things on joining, but has failed to deliver and dismisses any views/concerns raised.

Can anyone who has moved their DS or DD from private to state share their experience? DS is currently in year 3.

My main worry is how DS might be affected in the much bigger class size, as he is very bright but can be distracted easily and is a bit of a follower at times!

I would ask about the adult/child ratio at the new school. Sometimes class sizes look daunting on paper, but there will be enough adults to make the actual work groups quite small.

Thanks 'seeker'. I'm going to make appointments to visit some schools after the Easter holiday.
